YOUR GENEROUS DONATION CAN HELP
SHELTER OUR HISTORY FOR YEARS TO COME!
In the fall of 2010, the Lakes Region Historical Society became aware that the museum building at 817 Main St. was in need of a new roof.
The previous roof was installed when the Antioch School was renovated in 1979-80 and has served us well, but the task of "Raising the Roof" (as our campaign is titled) will require the help of our friends both inside and outside the Antioch community to reach our $25,000 goal which will also allow for some other needed work such as tuck pointing the brick façade.
Many of you have generously contributed to the collection and have already visited the museum, and we appreciate everything that has been done, but we now ask you to help us to continue to offer this educational experience to the community.
The museum is open every Saturday from 11 am until 3 pm and admission is always free. We routinely take Scout and school groups through the building on tours and also offer tours by appointment.
In an effort to preserve, protect and present the history of our beloved Antioch and the Chain-O-Lakes we are asking for your monetary support toward the cost of a new roof.
We would also like to invite you, your family, and your friends, to visit the museum for a private tour in the near future. Please call 847-395-4912 to schedule a tour.
Thank you in advance for any help that you may be able to give. Please send any donation to: Lakes Region Historical Society, 965 Main St., Antioch, IL 60002
Please see the entire list Lakes Region Historical Society activities on our calendar page and then call 847-395-4912 if you have questions or to place your reservation when reservations are required.
